However, her time at the Vic-Wells was short-lived, as the Fallis family was forced to move back to the United States because of the war.

For example, she was in the corps de ballet of Antony Tudor's Pillar of Fire, which premiered for the first time in 1942.

[2][5] In 1958, she left New York City Ballet and began a short period of performances at Jacob's Pillow.

[2] In 1963, Barbara and Richard founded The New York School of Ballet where they began to train young dancers.

Here, they trained noteworthy students of the school such as Eliot Feld, Twyla Tharp, Sean Lavery, Debbie Allen, Cynthia Gregory, and Christine Sarry.

[6] Later in 1975, subsequent to Feld's departure from the school, Barbara and Richard founded the company U.S. Terpsichore to provide their students with performance opportunities.

[8] The company toured a wide variety of repertory including over 30 ballets in both contemporary and classical styles.
